FAQ

What are chemical peels?

A: Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin that removes the build-up of dead skin cells on the surface to reveal a clear, youthful, even complexion. It’s a non-invasive and painless way to increase the production of collagen. Your skin will be tighter, more hydrated and smoother.

What are the risks associated with chemical peels?

A: The name sounds daunting, but chemical peels are safe. Possible complications are temporary and typically mild and include discomfort, reddening and increased sensitivity to sunlight.

I want to make sure the effects of the chemical peel last! What are post-chemical peel care instructions?

A: It should be a given but sun protection is absolutely mandatory, particularly since skin is rejuvenating and producing new skin cells after the peel. Protect it with a minimum of SPF 30. If possible, don’t wear makeup until the following morning. This will let your refreshed skin heal and breathe. Your NuAGE skin care technician will tell you everything you need to know and suggest a home skin care regimen to ensure you get maximum results that last.
